Four death row convicts in Pakistan were hanged on Thursday in Rawalpindi city, media reported.
Two brothers -- Mohammad Asghar and Ghulam Mohammad, and third convict Gulistan Zaman were hanged in Adiala jail while fourth one Abdul Sattar was executed in Mianwali jail, Dawn online reported.
The brothers were sentenced to death by a district and sessions judge for killing two relatives in 1996.
Zaman was convicted for killing a man in 1998 and Sattar was sentenced to death for killing a man over a personal feud in 1992.
So far, 54 convicts have been hanged across the country over terror and non-terror charges after the government has lifted the moratorium on death penalties amid a Taliban attack on the Army Public School on December 16, 2014 which killed over 150 people.
